Fewer chemicalsYour dishes don’t need perfume. A fragrance-free powder skips it, and you scoop just what the load needs.
Our pick
Pronounce Fragrance Free Dishwasher Detergent Powder, 80 loads
A fragrance- and dye-free powder you scoop yourself. Save rinse aid for when hard water leaves spots.
Fragrance is one of the most common skin allergens, second only to nickel in a review of 20,107 people, and many pods add it anyway. In a 2023 lab study, rinse-aid residue from commercial dishwashers damaged human gut-lining cells; that’s cell research, not proof of harm in people.
General information, not medical advice. Ask your doctor, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing or have a health condition.
Start with one scoop and add a second only for greasy loads or hard water.

When a plastic brush wears out, the whole thing goes in the trash. A bamboo brush with sisal bristles can go in a home compost bin instead.
Our pick

Many air fryer baskets are non-stick, a use of PFAS (“forever chemicals”). A glass-bowl air fryer cooks in a glass bowl instead of a non-stick basket.
Our pick
